Ryan Elementary School Update
January 2024
We are excited to introduce our Lead By Example system at Ryan Elementary! During the first week back from break, we taught behavior expectations to all students across the building. Our goal is to cultivate great leadership qualities in all our students, emphasizing responsibility, respect, safety, and kindness.
Students will actively demonstrate these leadership traits and can earn individual Lead By Example Tickets, which will be entered into a weekly drawing for a classwide celebration. These tickets count as 1 point toward our school-wide goal of 1,000 points. Keep an eye out for your child bringing these tickets home to celebrate their achievements with you.
Additionally, classrooms will have the opportunity to earn a Class Compliment when the entire class exhibits these leadership traits. Class Compliments count as 20 points toward our school-wide goal.
All students will be working toward a schoolwide goal of 1,000 points. Once this goal is reached, the students will vote on a schoolwide celebration event. Let's work together to achieve this milestone!

Aaron Barrington
My student of the month is Aaron Barrington. Aaron is always willing to help with anything and everything. He is always asking if there is something he can do to help me, other students, or our class. Aaron is a great friend and loves to work with others. He is very kind and a great leader that leads by example. He takes responsibility by doing what he is supposed to even when no one is watching. He is always making sure we have our trash taken care of at the end of the day and makes sure chromebooks are picked up. He also gives gentle reminders when other students don't have their materials where they are supposed to be. He takes pride in keeping our class a clean place and wants to make sure everyone feels welcome.
